they had to be embarrassed back to washington. i'm quite confident if harry reid and others were putting the pressure to say go back and work on this issue, these fiscal deadlines, we wouldn't be back on sunday night either, but they've gotten embarrassed, so they have to go back. at the end of the day, the american people deserve a congress that will work with an eye toward a compromise, and that's not what they've been getting from the republican side. the bottom line is i hope we don't go past these fiscal deadlines, but based on what they've been demanding, which is that we stick it to people on social security and leave millionaires, that's just not going to work. >> congressman, thanks for joining us. >> thank you. >>> next, the gop in disarray and a tea party cue day tay. stay with us. >> neither does tim geithner. he gives a speech about hitting the debt ceiling. i'd like to see if he could count to a million much less $16.4 trillion! jishths ♪ [ male announcer ] it started long ago. the joy of giving something everythin

there's a case called washington v. davis which says you have to show intentional violation, it's going to be pretty hard to show that here at all. the ironny of this is -- irony of this is this is not something somebody thought up at the end as a means of getting out. these problems were all presented to the supreme court at the certiorari stage. they sat on the case for three or four conferences before deciding to take the case, and when they took it, only eight justices acted on the order because justice kagan was the solicitor general when the government filed an amicus brief in support of the university of texas, so she is not sitting on this case. and so we have only four -- eight, excuse me, eight justices on the case, and the potential for a 4-4 tie is earnly there. despite these problems and despite the fact that ms. fisher has dubious remedies even if she could prove that she was harmed and that the system is unconstitutional, the court nevertheless took, took the case. some of the briefs have pointed out that

senator schatz arrived in washington during a sad time. as we continue to mourn the loss of our champion, senator dan inouye. dan inouye will always be a legend in hawaii. we will never be -- he will never be replaced. at dan inouye's memorial service in honolulu this past weekend, i was reminded of how many people he touched in hawaii and across the country. we must honor his legacy by working together for the people of hawaii. i thank brian for volunteering for this incredible responsibility. he only learned of his appointment yesterday and did not have any time to spare. so he hopped on air force one and flew straight to washington to be sworn in here today. we need him here now because we are facing a major challenge, one that, regrettably, has been created by congress in our inability to thus far compromise. the looming spending cuts and tax increases known as the fiscal cliff must be fixed within the next five days. thank you, brian, for accepting this challenge. i'm here to help you in any way i can. while there are other talented l
